Classical Ballet Tutus
& Dance Costume
"Aurora's Friends" /
"Maids of Honour"
Tutu  

The "Aurora's Friends" tutus were designed for Harlow Ballet Association's 2006 production of "The Sleeping Beauty".

The silk dupion bodices were in four toning shades of green, highlighted with gold braid and light reflecting sequin beadwork. As requested, the skirts were softer than a classic "pancake" shape, although still hooped. The four costumes were shared between eight dancers. As with all Rossetti tutus, this costume was made to measure. All items are constructed to professional performance standards as used by eg. English National Ballet and Scottish Ballet. A tutu with a comparable amount of decoration would cost £620.
